Should I keep it secret

Kris.... The Rincon is not a secret. A whole new generation of climbers are going their now. I get DM,s all the time about the place. Time to put it on MP?? Don’t worry- it will never be popular with the masses. 

Yeah, those guys are hard core, so I showed it to them. The hike, difficulty and exposure will keep the riff-raff out. I have a load of beta photo's taken from Dwight Kroll's plane, but I'm reticent to put them out public.

So did I just out troll the OP?

It allready was?

How many people here have met or spoken with Joe in person? I get it, the main purpose of the internet is to put strangers down from a safe hiding place for yourself... but OP doesn’t seem to me to be trying to hide anything or like he’s afraid of a downgrade on the rating, and generally seems like a great guy. I try to get updates on how it’s going when I’m in the area, but I haven’t been in one place long enough to go help on the route. Here’s hoping it ends up on MP eventually so we can get out and get on it.

I see you post under your own name. So do I. At least if I say something stupid, folks know the source

I'm pretty sure that rincons only had a handful of visits in the two years since you showed us, and those visits are mainly my partner and I. Maybe Dave?
For sure the approach is a undertaking, but the climbing is so worth it.
Thanks again for taking your time that day and organizing the meet and greet. 

Yes you should. 

The suspense is killing me
Excellent post!

Have you chopped the bolts yet?

I forgot about this golden thread

What a fucking douche parade of a thread!! Joe should be proud of himself... Oh wait, he already is.

Seems like a bunch of bickering asshole surfers instead of climbers. But climbers are probably douche-ier all told.

Pseudo-sprayathon. Check.

Locals only. Check.

Dick measuring contest. Check.

This thread has it all!!

What rock have you been living under?  Climbing has ALWAYS been this way.   You must be a load of fun at parties.

Joe does this all time. “Look at the climbing i know about that you don’t”. Lame gatekeepy flex

Wow this climb looks like some really rad shit. A real sick line put up by a real OG hardman. And I like not knowing where it is. I prefer it that way. Like there's just this mind-blowing climb out there that's forbidden. A shadow-el-cap. On a scale of "based" to "cringe" this is "epic"
